Actually, I think I just have to tweak the walk designer to get this a little better. This is just preview settings because I wanted to see how it looked. I rendered the animation to image files and then converted it using VirtualDub to 15 fps.

I know there are lots of things I can do to improve this, spline breaking, editing key frames, tweaking the walk designer. I will do that if I use her for any of my future endeavors. I just wanted to see how she would look walking in my clothes (There is some poke through mid way through the walk).
If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.

Miki's toes go through the ground for one thing. Her feet seem to be unaturally long which might explain that.
I don't know much about the walk designer, but I guess it's kind of generic and needs to be tweaked for different characters. Apart from that, it doesn't look too bad at all.

LOL.
Her feet seem to slap the ground the way someone wearing shoes that are too large might.
Also, she seems to have a bit of that gansta bounce to her step in this video. I guess she's small, but tough, ya know?

Looks pretty good overall. I agree about the feet though. They might be bending up too much on the forward stepping feet.

Keep on truckin' Miki. Might use some tweeking, but nice work.

If Miki is walking funny, she may have spent a little too much quality time with Tyler.
In all seriousness, it looks like the bend of the toes needs adjustment, when I walk, my toes don't bend up at a 45% angle when my foot moves forward.

As I stated, this was quick, down and dirty so I could see how she moves. Walk designer is cool, but none of the Poser characters looks natural when you use it. There is A LOT of tweaking involved. You have to get comfortable with the animation pallette and tweak the walk designer controls before you get something usable with it.
But poor little Miki 4 looks the worst of all.
